Schematic of the 4 tube radio, experimentally built in a way of the radio-pioneers (1910-1945). The radio acts as a cascade type receiver when the antenna coil has a high self-inductance, with lower self-inductances of the antenna coil you can put in a mixing process with the oscillator. Perhaps...

Operating my station remotely. I use three pieces of software. First is TRX-Manager to control the radio. See my video on TRX-Manager. Second, remote desktop software. This allows me to control the radio computer from a remote computer. I use Logmein.com free program to manage and setup the...

Experimental receiver for VLF. I received electromagnetic (radio) signals between 14 and 22 KHz with a capacitor of 4,7 NF over the showed coil. The schematic is identical to that of the storm detector IV (with the 6088 Tube), the coil is differently constructed. There is one more transistor...

After 2 hours of bush whacking our way up a steep slope through scrub oak and dangerous loose rock my goats and I reached the south summit. Exhausted we made our way to the north summit where I had stashed a battery but spent the next 45 minutes looking for it! Once found we put up a sloper for...

This video shows how to install a NMO type antenna mount..It was mounted on a 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck at Kcomm the ham radio store in San Antonio, Tx..I aquired my brother Tim KE5CFZ to help me.. The NMO mount requires a 3/4" hole which was drilled thru the roof just in front of the cargo...

Back from a long summer vacation, George and Tommy visit the Capitol City Hamfest and run into an old friend. Peter shows us how to create a warm spot. Plus plenty of Amateur Radio news and Viewer email.

Amature Radio operators or sometimes better known as Ham radio operators are on the hunt for mystery radio signal that is jamming automotive remotes. Imagine you think your car is locked because you used your remote to lock it, now imagine the horror when you find out its not. Well thats what has...

It’s been a great summer and now we’re back to kick off season 2. In this episode Tommy brings us another great photo tip. This one’s about using your camera’s RAW mode. Jim shows us part one of his recent capacitor building adventure. And George demonstrates the weird ways that some...

The guys are back with more tech and entertainment for the all purpose geek. Jim talks about the OSI and Packet Sniffing with Ethereal. George teaches us how to solder like a pro. And Tommy’s ‘Camera Raw Files(The SQL)’ demonstrates some neat tricks you can do.

Episode 3 is now in post. It features a “From The Bench� Construction Special that you will not want to miss. Plus, Tommy introduces a new segment to the show and more. In the meantime, we’ve released the Episode 3 Promotional Trailer.
